Additional Media Loading Guidelines
◗ If the corresponding Media Type option for your paper is
not shown in the Media Type list, change the
Print
Quality setting in the More Settings dialog box, select
Automatic as the Mode setting, or change the predefined
setting in the Custom Settings list on the Main menu. See
Chapter 2 for more information.
◗ In addition to the
Media Type option, remember to select
the correct
Paper Size for your media.
◗ Some special media have a cut corner that you need to
position correctly; follow any instructions in the package.
Always handle sheets by the edges, and don’t touch the
printable surface.
If the special media has protective sheets between each sheet
of media, be sure to remove the protective sheets before
printing.
◗ Be sure to load the printable side of the media in the correct
direction for the feeder you’re using. When you’re loading
pre-printed paper, such as letterhead or forms, position the
paper as follows:
◗ Load it with the top edge leading into the printer
◗ Place the printable side:
Down in the sheet feeder
Up in the manual feeder, on the built-in tractor feeder,
or on the roll paper feeder
◗ Use ink jet papers within one year of purchase. Use glossy
media and transparencies within six months. Return
unused sheets and envelopes to their original packages as
soon as possible. See Appendix B for more media storage
information.
◗ Some
EPSON media include a cleaning sheet. After you
finish printing a package of
EPSON media, use the cleaning
sheet included with the media. See the instructions on the
